Rare
Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Erygia apicalis sighting in Tokyo on a given day, based on 18 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 482nd most-seen of the 1013 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 20%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 10% of wildlife watchers report an Erygia apicalis in Tokyo on a given day, against under 5% in May to March, the lowest months.
Among the best
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Erygia apicalis sightings, Tokyo ranks 2nd at under 5%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Hong Kong (China, under 5%).
Same family: Erebidae
The closest relatives of the Erygia apicalis that you can see in Tokyo (family Erebidae, Underwing, Tiger, Tussock, and Allied Moths) are Japanese Nine-Spotted Moth (about 10%), Ramie Moth (about 10%) and Brown-Striped Semilooper (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Erygia apicalis is recorded against all the insects logged in Tokyo (18 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
